Linguaskill new modular format: What you need to know

As educators, you understand the importance of giving students the tools they need to succeed. That’s why we’re excited to share a significant update to Linguaskill—an exam designed to adapt to the unique needs of today’s learners.

What’s new?

The traditional Linguaskill exam format was retired at the end of October, making way for a more customisable and accessible approach. With the new modular structure, candidates can focus on the skills most relevant to their goals, offering greater flexibility and precision in assessment.

Adaptive testing for tailored results

Linguaskill is an adaptive test, meaning that the level of the questions automatically adjusts based on the candidate’s responses. This ensures that each test is tailored to the individual’s proficiency, providing precise and reliable results.

Flexible skill modules

Candidates can now take modules focusing on specific skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking.

These modules can be taken individually or combined as needed, offering complete flexibility.

Two Linguaskill versions to meet different needs

Linguaskill Business is designed for those needing English proficiency in a workplace context, helping candidates prepare for roles where professional communication is key.

Linguaskill General caters to learners looking to demonstrate their general English ability across a range of everyday and academic situations, such as university admission or personal development.

Both versions of the test assess levels B1 to C2, providing fast, clear, and reliable results that help teachers, institutions, and employers make informed decisions.
